Prepare the Chicken

Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Grill it for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.

Add Balsamic Glaze

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the tomatoes and mozzarella.

Finish and Serve

Close the sandwich and optionally grill it for an additional 2-3 minutes for a warm, crispy finish. Slice in half and serve immediately.
